A short timeline from reports phoned into Sheffield Indymedia. For background see Noise Demo - Lindholme Detention Centre.

1245 Two hundred people brave the disgusting weather to protest outside Lindholme Detention Centre near Doncaster. The very noisy protesters were accompanied [!] by many police.

1300 People are throwing paper planes over the wall that say "Freedom, no borders, no nations, no-one is illegal" in many languages. Balloons were also floated over the fence. Sheffield Samba Band playing. Other folks are tying banner to fence reading "Freedom For All".

1345 Raining heavily but spirits still high. There are many banners on the fence now. A huge one reads "No-one is Illegal".

1407 We have walked round the fences banging on them, finishing at the main entrance. The demo finishes now so that refugees' normal visiting hours are not distrupted. 55 actions in nine countries.
